But not under me! The host from yesterday's show sent me an email asking if I get credit for her friend signing on, but I don't think the friend signed up through my website and I know she didn't have my consultant ID number. :(

It would have been so cool if she had because I've really enjoyed working with this host and know I would have enjoyed working with her friend, but now I'll lose both of them. :(

I know that there's nothing that can be done about it now, I just needed to vent.
 
Bummer!!! Did she not tell you she was interested?????

Nope. I've never spoken to the friend and only got the question today from the host. :(
 
CAn you call HO or have the friend call HO and get it cleared up?? Call the friend and let her know that she is just going to be assigned to a random director and maybe something can be done.

That really sucks, I'm so sorry!!
 
maybe she entered it under your name. cant you do it if you dont know the consultants #?

I have no idea. I don't even know WHEN her friend signed up or if she meant to sign under me or if there was another consultant who signed her. :(
 
Shucks.

I just called a past host whose PHD is expiring and talked to her about hosting again. She said her friend Jennifer is having a show soon. Why oh why wouldn't she have her friend book her show with me???

It sucks all the way around.

Sorry, Jen!
